Looking from a distance, the flames on the Obsidian Square shot straight into the sky, and violent storms and thunder intertwined. Xu Yinian accelerated his running speed. The closer the distance was, the more he could feel the two demonic forces fighting fiercely. The huge impact set off waves of air, and when he was about to reach the square, Xu Yinian had to stop.
The glorious square in the past seemed to have encountered a catastrophe. The nearby buildings were razed to the ground under the strong collision. Breathing out, Qi Shushu turned his head and stared at Xu Yinian.
The undead closest to him rushed up first, and then, the surrounding undead swarmed towards him. Blocked by these dark dead spirits, Xu Yinian couldn't see clearly the center of the square. He was eager to confirm Yu Huai's situation, and his fingers were covered with dazzling electric light—
boom! !
The loud noise of thunder cut through the night, and a large number of undead were burned to ashes. Yu Huai looked sideways slightly, and saw the familiar blue-purple lightning from the corner of his vision. The ghost clan on the opposite side chuckled, and jokingly said, "It looks like your helper is here. Is it the kid from the demon-killing family?"
He looked at the fast-moving figure among the group of undead, and said in a low and slow voice, "According to the relationship between you and him, I have to entertain him well."
The dead spirits from all directions received the order and rushed to gather in the same direction. Xu Yinian didn't know why these undead suddenly rushed up like crazy, some even stepped on their companions directly, and the pair of dark green bone hands tried their best to catch him. He was so entangled, another thunderbolt descended from the sky, and countless undead were annihilated into ashes under the strong light.
Without the obstruction of the dense crowd of skeletons, the road ahead was blank for a moment, and Xu Yinian was finally able to see the scene on the square. When he saw clearly the monster fighting with Yu Huai, Xu Yinian froze in place.
what happened… !
The monster's figure and appearance were seven to eight points similar to Yu Huai's, and from certain angles, the eyebrows and eyes of the two were almost identical. If it weren't for the huge difference in temperament, people who are not familiar with them might confuse them. Xu Yinian stared at the monster, noticing his dark purple eyes and unusual skeletal body, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
A ghost clan that looks so similar to Yu Huai...
The dead spirit next to him rushed over while he was in a daze, and the extremely corrosive bony hands were just about to grab Xu Yinian's shoulders—
The wild and growing tree vines cut a narrow path in the sea of undead, and the tough vines firmly trapped the undead approaching Xu Yinian. In the next moment, the sharp blood scythe chopped off a piece of undead, and Xie Qihan rushed over and shouted at Xu Yinian: "Why are you in a daze!"
Xu Yinian came back to his senses, only to find that Nan Zhi and Xie Qihan had arrived, and there were several patrols accompanying them. Xie Qihan followed his gaze to the center of the square, and could not help but narrow his eyes.
Compared with Xu Yinian, his reaction was much calmer, but Xie Qihan couldn't help but pay attention to the skeleton spirit floating in mid-air, and said: "What the hell... Didn't you say that the ghost clan is gone, this guy Where did it come from?"
Nan Zhi originally controlled the vines and trapped all the nearby dead spirits in the net of trees and vines, but the expression on her face changed suddenly when she saw the ghost in the square, and the violent emotional ups and downs even made Nan Zhi forget Controlling the ability well, the undead broke through the vine net in an instant, rushing forward one after another like hyenas smelling the smell!
A golden demon pattern appeared on Xie Qihan's arm, and the blood spikes rising from the ground pierced the bodies of the undead, and the broken bones made a crisp sound when they fell to the ground. Xie Qihan turned his head to the side, frowned and looked at Nan Zhi: "What's wrong with you?"
"..."
Nan Zhi seemed to have seen something incomprehensible, it was the first time Xu Yinian saw such a lost look on her face. She stared at the ghost that was 70% similar to Yu Huai, and Xu Yinian heard her muttering: "He should be dead... He obviously fell into the Death River, it's impossible...!"
Xie Qihan didn't understand, but Xu Yinian understood what Nan Zhi meant, and the worst premonition in his heart came true, Xu Yinian's face completely sank. Seeing this, Xie Qihan asked anxiously: "What's going on, do you know him?"
Nan Zhi took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but her voice was extremely dry: "That's Yu Shuo, the former Patriarch of the Ghost Clan. He also belongs to the boss..."
-Father.
"The last time I saw you, you were so weak that you could be crushed to death with just one finger." Yu Shuo landed ten meters away from Yu Huai, separated by a river of magma, rolling up from time to time. The black and red foam completely divided the already shattered square into two parts.
When Yu Shuo changed the day and night of Freeport at will, Yu Huai basically believed in his identity. The image of the gentle and reliable father that Xuan Tan described with a smile in childhood and the devil in front of him are like two extremes. Yu Huai forced herself to suppress excess emotions and looked at him coldly.
Yu Shuo looked at Yu Huai's facial features that were very similar to his own, and mentioned the massacre without hesitation: "You should have died with them five years ago, but you have a very powerful talent, even surpassing your mother... The reason why I left you."
Whether talking about the clansmen who were massacred or his former wife, Yu Shuo always had a smile on his face, with bloodthirsty madness faintly revealing in his eyes. The anger in Yu Huai's heart became more and more intense. He originally had a little luck at the wrong time. Before the other party confessed, he didn't want to really believe that his father killed his mother, but Yu Shuo said lightly that he His identity—the second murderer he was looking for turned out to be a person whom the outside world mistakenly thought had been dead for many years, and who Xuan Tan loved until his death.
"What face do you have to mention her...!"
Yu Huai said every word, the voice full of hatred almost squeezed out from between his teeth. However, Yu Shuo's eyes were gradually clouded, and he sneered, "I saved Xuan Tan's life, so there's nothing wrong with letting her come back. Do you think being tortured for three days and three nights is painful? No, she What I experienced before my death was not one ten thousandth of what I experienced."
After talking about it, Yu Shuo sighed lightly: "It's only three days, it's too cheap for her."
Even though he knew that the lunatic in front of him could not be treated with common sense, Yu Huai was astonished by the cruelty in his words, and said angrily: "...In this case, why did you risk your life to save her? In your guilt, do you know?!"
The strong anger made Yu Huai's fingertips tremble, and the uncontrollable demonic power overflowed from his body, as if feeling that he was on the verge of losing control, countless black and red flames spewed out from the magma river, burning all the way to Yu Shuo's feet. The moment Yu Shuo reached, the black flame suddenly exploded! The violent impact caused Yu Shuo to sag a huge stone pit.
Yu Huai's eyes were red, black and red flames surged up into the sky crazily, sand and rocks flew all around, and thick smoke was everywhere, but Yu Shuo's shadow was not seen in the pile of rubble.
The explosion brought billowing black smoke, Yu Shuo's figure loomed in the thick smoke, and his gloomy voice seemed to come from hell: "She is guilty? Then do you know how I got here? What do you know...!"
Yu Shuo pressed down with five fingers, and the violently increased gravity caused the entire square to collapse! As if being squeezed downward by an invisible giant hand, Yu Huai only felt that the bones in his whole body were about to shatter. The severe pain in his chest caused blood to overflow from the corner of his mouth. He barely tried to resist the ghost, but the river where the magma gathered couldn't bear the pressure, and exploded just a few feet away from him!
A series of loud explosions of black flames were deafening, but Yu Shuo's position was not affected. He stood on a high place, condescendingly watching the entire square turn into ruins.
There was a pungent smell in the air, and Yu Huai's body was covered with bloodstains. Seeing him standing up slowly from the gravel while supporting his knees, Yu Shuo said contemptuously, "Only you have the nerve to preach to me? I did save her, The price is that I stayed in the Dead Styx for thirteen years, and my flesh and blood were corroded by the undead every day!"
Before Yu Huai could stand up, a raging storm swept across the sky and the earth, with the scorching flames in the strong wind, and the hot air waves blowing towards his face melted the gravel rapidly. Yu Shuo invoked two abilities at the same time, the heavy pressure made Yu Huai unable to move, and he could only bear the attack of the storm!
The heat wave spread rapidly along with the thick smoke, rushing towards the periphery of Obsidian Square. Even though they were far away from the center of the battle, everyone who was fighting the undead could feel the violent impact of the fire storm.
"—Yu Huai!!" Seeing that the situation was not going well, Xu Yinian wanted to rush forward anxiously, but the surrounding dead spirits rushed towards him one after another, pestering him tightly not to let him take a step forward.
Xie Qihan said anxiously: "That guy looks difficult to deal with, we have to go over and help!"
Nan Zhi gritted her teeth without saying a word. The number of undead nearby is increasing, and it seems that all the undead in Freeport have gathered in Obsidian Square. Not only did they fail to move forward, they were even gradually forced back.
Go on like this...
Not to mention Yu Huai, even they might not be able to hold on.
"Ghosts have a very strong resilience, you should have a deep understanding of this." The wind swept past, Yu Shuo looked at Yu Huai who was in a state of distress. Half of his body was burned by the flames, and countless scorched wounds appeared on his flesh.
"Hunger, cold, serious injury..." Yu Shuo seemed to be remembering something, "The deadly threat to humans and most monsters can't take the lives of ghosts. It's just that this process is very painful, very painful."
Many years ago, the demon world was far more chaotic than it is now. Many monsters were afraid and jealous of the abilities of the ghost clan. Although the ghost clan was powerful, their number was very small compared to other monster clans. Finally, these monsters united to start a campaign. In that scuffle, Yu Shuo fell into the River of Death to save Xuan Tan. At that moment, he was ready to die, but he never expected that what awaited him would be a hell more terrifying than death.
Countless undead raised their heads and rushed forward like a pack of hungry wolves. Even a ray of sunlight shyly appeared in that dark black river, the only light was the dark green light spots on the skeleton skeleton, and all the green light spots converged towards him.
There is no food, no clean water, and the temperature of the Dead Styx is terribly cold. No matter how powerful he is, he cannot sustain himself in front of the endless stream of undead. limbs.
In the first year, relying on the ability of the healing department, he could barely hold his breath. He couldn't remember how many times he was corrupted, and how many undead were destroyed and resurrected by him.
The next year, he tried to find a way out, only to discover in despair that the entire river had no source: it was a dead river through and through. Once he tried to climb up, all the undead would gather and pull him down, and he almost lost his life several times.
The third year, the fourth year...
His body was melted by the undead day after day, and he recovered day after day. The severe pain and hunger made him almost want to give up. Countless undead followed him greedily. When he saw their dark eye sockets, the memories of the past became more vivid in his mind, and the strong desire for sunshine came from the bottom of his heart. Spill—he didn't want to die in such a cold, wet place, much less become a monster like them.
He hated those monsters who participated in the siege, and wished that they would also suffer the pain he had experienced. The love he once had for Xuan Tan was exhausted in the struggle of life and death again and again, and finally all turned into endless regret.
"If I had just died in that river, everything would be over. But after struggling in the Styx River for several years, I only think that my choice at the beginning is extremely ridiculous-noble, selfless sacrifice? The only thing in return is endless torture!" Yu Shuo said with a strange smile, "The world is truly impermanent."
The serious injury made Yu Huai almost unable to stand still, Yu Shuo's distorted exclamations kept coming from his ears, he forcibly suppressed the hatred that was about to overflow from the bottom of his heart, and forced himself to calm down.
Yu Shuo's strength is unfathomable, if he continues to consume, it is likely that he will be unable to hold on first. An opportunity must be found...
Yu Huai stared coldly at Yu Shuo who was still feeling emotional, seeing that the latter seemed to be immersed in the memory of the past, Yu Huai's eyes flickered, and suddenly said: "This has nothing to do with the person you killed, what do you have to do?" Qualified to do so?"
His tone seemed to be questioning, but also sarcasm, Yu Huai's voice became hoarse due to serious injuries. While speaking, his gaze passed behind Yu Shuo calmly, a golden ball of light was rising silently, its light was not conspicuous, like the clear brilliance of moonlight falling softly.
Yu Shuo seemed to have been stepped on a sore foot, the smile on his face gradually faded, and that handsome face became ferocious and terrifying: "Why should I suffer all this?! Is it because of the damn sacrifices and sacrifices? "
"Then you are a coward." Yu Huai angered Yu Shuo with every word, attracting his attention.
A small golden spirit body is hiding in the rubble pile at Yu Huai's feet. Blood dripped continuously from Yu Huai's fingertips, he didn't care about healing himself, and kept sending all his monster power to the ball of light suspended behind Yu Shuo. The ball of light kept shrinking, but the light became more and more intense, and finally condensed into a small, dazzling light spot, and the huge power was compressed to the extreme.
"That's what it's like to be corroded again and again by the undead! It's a pain that can't be compared with a thousand cuts—" Yu Shuo's expression changed, and his voice stopped abruptly.
He lowered his head and looked at his chest in surprise. The dazzling light spot pierced Yu Shuo's heart like a sharp arrow from behind, opening a hole the size of a fist in his chest.
Even ghosts with strong resilience cannot survive a pierced heart.
No one expected that Yu Huai would be able to fight back under such circumstances. The thin line pulled out by the light spot penetrated the thick darkness of Obsidian Square like a sudden skylight. Seeing Yu Shuo's frozen expression, Xu Yinian couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The undead spirits from the same source were fighting so far, and everyone was more or less wounded. It seemed that the undead spirits that could never be killed shrouded everyone like a shadow. That ray of light revived the desperate patrol team. Even Nan Zhi heaved a sigh of relief, and gradually relaxed her frowning brows.
Noticing how Yu Huai gave Yu Shuo a fatal blow, Xie Qihan sighed from the bottom of his heart: "It's too powerful, to be able to compress such a powerful force to such an extent."
Before Yu Huai could relax, laughter suddenly came from a few meters away.
Yu Shuo's laughter became louder and louder, and the hoarse and weird voice made everyone's faces change one after another. He stared at Yu Huai for a moment, as if he was re-evaluating his value.
Only then did Xu Yinian notice that Yu Shuo's chest was not bleeding. He subconsciously looked at Yu Shuo's injured shoulder and arm. Obviously, there is still blood on Yu Shuo's shoulder, but why doesn't there be a trace of blood gushing out of his heart...!
"You are outstanding, worthy of being my child." Yu Shuo praised without hesitation, "Your talent not only surpasses your mother, but also surpasses me at this age. But you missed one point."
His fingers scratched the skirt of his shirt, exposing a large part of his chest. Yu Shuo's body is almost the same as that of ordinary people, smooth and delicate skin, strong and powerful muscles, if one ignores one point, everything seems to indicate that this is a fresh life.
The position of his left chest was empty, as if a piece of flesh had been dug out of a normal person, that piece had no heart, no flesh, only a few dark green skeletons.
"Do you know how I left the Dead River?"
"When I woke up one day, I found that they would never attack me again. I looked down and saw that half of my body was flesh, and half was a skeleton like them."
Seeing Yu Huai's unbelievable expression, Yu Shuo smiled with satisfaction: "I have also become a Necromancer, a special Necromancer that retains memory and abilities."
